where did you see that misquoted? there was an article on zdnet which was so badly written that i refused to put it on the campaign front page - the editor totally garbled pretty much everything about the project.
the CORRECT phrase to use is:
"You can literally plug in a new COMPUTER CARD -- or swap your COMPUTER CARD into a variety of devices".
does that start to make much more sense now?
> You can literally plug in a new CPU -- or swap your CPU into a variety of devices.
Either they're using the term "CPU" in a colloquial sense to refer to the processor plus other things, or it's literally just the processor. If it's the latter, what's the point? The CPU is hardly the important thing when I'm switching between devices. If anything, I would want a set of devices that all boot from the same storage device.
